What Eden Sustainable does

Eden Sustainable is a UK-based commercial and industrial (C&I) solar developer founded in 2014 by Steve Baker and Scott Burrows and wholly-owned by AMPYR Distributed Energy (ADE). The company designs, develops, finances, builds, operates, and maintains solar PV installations for commercial and industrial customers, with core products comprising rooftop solar panels, solar carports, ground-mounted arrays, and commercial battery storage. It specialises in mid- to large-scale projects, typically 300kWp and above, with deployed sites including a 2.5MW array at Uniserve's Felixstowe distribution centre, a 1.6MW portfolio across The Senator Group's five factories, and a 997kWp system at Vale of Mowbray.

Eden's primary commercial model is the fully-funded solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), under which the company retains ownership of the asset and the customer purchases generated electricity at fixed rates typically 30–40% below grid prices over 10–25 years. Where customers prefer to own the asset, Eden provides design, installation and maintenance on a one-time capital basis, and it also offers ongoing O&M as a standalone service. Capital is sourced from its parent AMPYR, from a £150m facility with Atrato Onsite Energy (ROOF), and from a £75m joint venture with Thrive Renewables announced in April 2024, which targets up to 75MW of rooftop solar by 2030.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting energy-intensive verticals — logistics and warehousing, manufacturing, cold storage and food production — supplemented by a partner/introducer channel and a growing presence in the education sector via the Let's Go Zero campaign. Eden is certified B Corp, holds MCS, RECC, NAPIT and Achilles accreditations, and has been listed in The Sunday Times Hundred for three consecutive years (2022–2024). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held under ADE ownership with 11–50 employees and operational offices in Exeter and a registered address in Letchworth Garden City.

Revenue model

1. Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): Eden Sustainable develops, constructs, funds and operates solar assets. Customers purchase electricity generated by the solar panels at a fixed rate through long-term PPAs (typically 10-25 years), providing predictable energy costs without upfront capital investment. The company retains ownership of the solar panels and provides all operations and maintenance over the project's lifetime.
2. Self-Funded Solar Installation: For customers who prefer to own their solar assets, Eden provides design, development, installation and maintenance services for a one-time capital cost.
3. Operations and Maintenance: Ongoing O&M services for solar installations, including monitoring, inspections, and repairs to ensure optimal system performance throughout the project's lifespan.

Broad incumbents

• Lightsource bp: One of Europe's largest solar developers, now part-owned by bp, with significant UK C&I and utility-scale activity. Comparable to Eden in C&I solar origination and PPA structuring but at vastly larger scale and with utility-scale as its primary focus.
• Opus Energy / SSE Energy Solutions: SSE's energy solutions arm supplies renewable PPAs and onsite generation to UK commercial customers. Comparable C&I customer base and PPA offerings, with the backing of a major utility.
• Rushlight Solar / Statkraft UK Solar: Statkraft's UK solar arm (built on the Solarcentury acquisition) develops utility-scale and commercial solar projects. Comparable on technology and customer base but with broader geographic scope and deeper balance sheet.

Direct peers

• Ylem Energy: Independent UK power generation specialist developing and operating onsite solar, gas and BESS assets for commercial and industrial customers via long-term PPAs — direct overlap with Eden's PPA-driven C&I model.
• Low Carbon: UK renewable energy developer and operator with a focus on solar, storage and EV charging infrastructure across commercial sites. Overlaps with Eden on C&I solar development and long-term asset ownership.
• Anesco: UK-based renewable energy company specialising in solar PV design, installation, funding and operations for commercial and public-sector clients. Closely comparable to Eden's turnkey EPC + funded PPA model and C&I focus.
• GRIDSERVE: UK-based sustainable energy business developing, financing and operating commercial-scale solar and battery storage projects, including C&I rooftop installations and private wire PPAs. Directly comparable to Eden on customer base, technology stack and PPA-led business model.

Emerging players

• Conrad Energy: UK flexible energy generator and asset owner with growing onsite C&I solar and battery portfolio. Comparable in business model (developer-owner-operator) but more weighted toward flexible generation.

Others

• Atrato Onsite Energy (ROOF): LSE-listed solar fund that provides upfront capital for UK commercial rooftop solar — a financial partner to Eden rather than a competitor. Highly relevant as it shapes Eden's funding economics for funded PPA deals.
• Inenco Group: UK energy management and sustainability services firm serving large commercial and industrial customers. Comparable end-customer base; adjacent rather than directly competitive, though it brokers renewable PPA supply.
